arm26 currently has a 256 kB THREAD_SIZE (sic).

misunderstanding.

The comment says:
this needs attention (see kernel/fork.c which gets a nice div by zero if
this is lower than 8*32768

kernel/fork.c does:
  max_threads = mempages / (8 * THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE)

Therefore, a division by 0 is impossible for all reasonable cases with
THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE.

Since the minimum PAGE_SIZE Linux uses on the arm26 architecture is 16k,
PAGE_SIZE should be sufficient for THREAD_SIZE.

[PATCH] gx1fb: (try to) play nicer with various BIOSes

Seems that the CS5530A chip used in Geode GX1 systems has some crazy feature
that causes SMI traps when accessing the PCI configuration space of the video
device.  Various GX1 BIOSes seem to use this 'feature' to hide the real BARs
of the device.  This patch disables these traps (in an early PCI fixup) so
that Linux sees the real, physical BARs and not the virtual ones provided by
the BIOS.

This should allow the GX1 framebuffer driver to work on more systems that have
different BIOSes as the driver no longer guesses at what the virtual BARs
mean.

I'm not entirely sure it the correct solution as I can neither test regular
VGA console nor the X's 'cyrix' video driver so there might be some breakage
there -- probably best to get some more testers before applying it.

[PATCH] neofb: take existing display configuration as default

On a Dell Latitude CPi-A I noticed a strangeness wrt.  the handling of an
external monitor by the neomagic framebuffer driver, namely when the laptop is
docked in a C/Dock II with the lid shut.

A cold boot would result in the BIOS configuring the video chip to use the
"external monitor only" mode, yet neofb would default to "internal LCD only".
An attempt for a quick fix by using the Fn-F8 keystroke to toggle the display
combination modes resulted in a reproductible hard lock, powering down being
the only solution.

The attached patch makes neofb probe the register for the current display
mode, using that value as a default if nothing was specified as kernel/module
parameter.

Abhay Salunke [Sat, 14 Jan 2006 21:21:14 +0000 (13:21 -0800)]
[PATCH] dell_rbu: fix Bug 5854

This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5854

Root cause:

The dell_rbu driver creates entries in /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/ by
calling request_firmware_nowait (without hotplug ) this function inturn
starts a kernel thread which creates the entries in
/sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading , data and the thread waits on the
user action to return control back to the callback fucntion of dell_rbu.
The thread calls wait_on_completion which puts it in a D state until the
user action happens.  If there is no user action happening the load average
goes up as the thread D state is taken in to account.  Also after
downloading the BIOS image the enrties go away momentarily but they are
recreated from the callback function in dell_rbu.  This causes the thread
to get recreated causing the load average to permenently stay around 1.

Fix:

The dell_rbu also creates the entry
/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type at driver load time.  The image
type by default is mono if required the user can echo packet to image_type
to make the BIOS update mechanism using packets.  Also by echoing init in
to image_type the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries can be created.

The driver code was changed to not create /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu
entries during load time, and also to not create the above entries from the
callback function.  The entries are only created by echoing init to
/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type The user now needs to create the
entries to download the image monolithic or packet.  This fixes the issue
since the kernel thread only is created when ever the user is ready to
download the BIOS image; this minimizes the life span of the kernel thread
and the load average goes back to normal.

[PATCH] cpuset oom lock fix

The problem, reported in:

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5859

and by various other email messages and lkml posts is that the cpuset hook
in the oom (out of memory) code can try to take a cpuset semaphore while
holding the tasklist_lock (a spinlock).

One must not sleep while holding a spinlock.

The fix seems easy enough - move the cpuset semaphore region outside the
tasklist_lock region.

This required a few lines of mechanism to implement.  The oom code where
the locking needs to be changed does not have access to the cpuset locks,
which are internal to kernel/cpuset.c only.  So I provided a couple more
cpuset interface routines, available to the rest of the kernel, which
simple take and drop the lock needed here (cpusets callback_sem).
